MUSSELSHELL RANCH WIFE

LIFE OF A RANCH WIFE, LIVING ON THE MUSSELSHELL, TRYING TO FIND TIME TO PAINT

Wednesday, April 6, 2011

It is finally drying out here. At least in some places. The tops of hills and some of the roads. But, get down to the barns, and I still sink to the tops of my muck boots. I think I hyper extend my knees on a daily basis, walking around in left-over river slop. I even got the tractor stuck trying to cross the river today. On husband's orders of course.

We are getting down to the last few heifers to calve. Can't come soon enough.

I still found some time to paint. I think I paint better, or at least get more done, when I am short on house time.

This old truck has been up at our junk yard for quite a long time. It was in pretty good shape until someone robbed the front axel. I thought it would make a challenging painting. I was right. This is the second try.

About Me

I have been married to a rancher for 26 years. We both were raised on ranches, and are on one now. We drove truck for a few years when we were first married. We have raised two kids. I love quilting. It has been a passion for about 21 years. I was an art major in college and gave it up to raise the kids and help my husband. I started again in November 2010, and have been making up for lost time. In the last year I have been working on fitness, and losing weight. I have lost 35 lbs and am working on more.
